Jack Hughes. ABSOLUTE LEGEND. Got his teeth knocked out by a high stick from Sam Bennett in the 3rd period but was that going to stop him? No chance. He spit out the blood and kept playing. Scoring the winning goal in OT and securing the gold for the US against Canada in the Olympics.
What a legend. The indomitable American spirit. ๐บ๐ธ ๐ซก
